Blood Orange Smoothie

Are you feeling the winter blues? With the unrelenting snow and cold weather, we can totally understand if you need a pick me up. And in steps the blood orange…

These beautiful variety of oranges aren’t just good looking- they’re tart, crisp, and packed with vitamin C. We pair their juices and zest with greek yogurt, coconut milk, frozen banana, pineapple, and a touch of ginger to create a refreshing smoothie that will have you forgetting about the fact that Spring is at least a month away.

Coconut milk or almond milk (as much as needed to get the smoothie to your desired consistency).

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until creamy and smooth. As coconut milk as needed or until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency.

Pro-tip: To make your smoothie into a more well-rounded meal, add a ½ cup of oatmeal (pulse in the blender first to break it down more) as your blending the smoothie OR pour your smoothie into a bowl and top with your favorite granola.
